CVH Homage or Rip Off?

[vandeleur]

We used to do Maria , it's the worlds most addictive riff when u play it . It just chugs forever and u can't bloody stop .

[ELVIS]

YYou have that swagger to your playing.

It needs a riff though...

There's a lot of noodling going on but no actual riff you can wrap your head around...

[ELVIS]

no damage done by the looks of it apart from sounding like a bit of a dick.

And that never happens...

[vandeleur]

Sesh being a dick ain't the problem ;-) , the songs riff isn't the problem .
The original comment was how do we get more exposure / more people to gigs . And unless people sit outside the house and luckily catch Sesh playing and hear him through the windows it's basic stuff .

If your not playing all the time and everywhere how the fuck can see people gonna see you . It's catch 22 people won't come if they haven't seen you or know you exist.
To me and am basing this on a drunk comment , if a band ain't happy with gig attendance it's not a huge mystery what's wrong .
Gig strategies need looked at, who is hearing the material how are they hearing it.
Is 5 gigs in 6 months enough ( will give u a clue that's like a van halen schedule )
So Sesh has to stop expecting the mountain to come to him or puts seats outside his house so people can hear the songs in more comfort .
Him the band need to approach it not as guitar geeks ( if a guitar falls in a forrest and it's plugged into a orange amp does anybody hear it ) but logically and as if they were trying to market their music to people .
Or Sesh needs to concentrate less on the Sesh show and more on remembering the lyrics :D

[vandeleur]

Actually what the fuck do I know , I used to think 16 was a sell out :D

Your guitar sounds like some polished late 80 rock / punk hybrid, maybe with some EVH but ED just plays music, also..... it is what it is. I really don't think it is anything like VH it is unique...and very nice.

Your singer sounds like some late 70's english pub punk singer real good,..really good.

Drums are on time as they should be and the Bass is also right there.

I liked it all.

Reminds me of the best of the punk rock fusion thing that I like alot.

Ia'monna list'n again.

[Romeo Delight]

That was really good Sesh.

Sorry as I said I was pretty refreshed last night.

I felt like deleting some of that nonsense this morning but that would be an abuse of power so I just need to live with it.

[Seshmeister]

We have a female singer now. We added Blondie's Dreaming to our set list and it's all we played at practice today. I can't get the fucking song out of my head now.

The only slight problem with that is I always think that the minute you have a female singer you become her backing band.

I'm not saying that's a terrible thing but it all becomes about her.

Also if she isn't decent looking then you can't get anywhere, if she is then it becomes about that. Blondie is a great example.

I don't make or agree with the rules but that's what they seem to be...

[vandeleur]

Having a female singer is very good at getting women to gigs , and that's not a massive hardship :D

By the way Sesh none of that crap I was spouting was a criticism of yourself mate, anybody who gets up and makes music and then plays it in public gets a hats off from me.

Same here. I'd kill for the opportunity, but also think I'd be a nervous wreck. I'm hoping to get the balls to do an open mic one of these nights. Haven't sung live since '99.

Go for it man , you will love it . And when you do tell us how it goes :D

It's true I honestly don't think I was ever nervous playing to much bigger crowds when I was young, this time around has definitely been much more stressful.

I hear the same thing happens with actors, you think too much when you are older.

Yup. Of course for actors, there's the fear of not being able to remember lines. I cast a 72 year old once. She had loads of TV experience. She couldn't remember more than two lines.

I ended up backstage feeding her lines through a cell phone with an ear bud hidden. First play I ever directed and I didn't even get to see the damn thing.
